We're spending billions fighting fraud and deepfakes, but getting worse results every year. What's going wrong even though we spend more?
In this conversation with Tony Fish, author of "Decision Making in Uncertain Times," we explore why traditional cybersecurity is fundamentally broken. Tony reveals the uncomfortable truth: it's incredibly easy to create a lie, but exponentially harder to detect one. While fraudsters can generate deepfakes with minimal resources, organizations are throwing massive budgets at detection systems that simply can't keep up.
The real problem isn't technical - it's human. We're using management principles from the 1950s to fight 21st-century problems. Boards are asking the wrong questions, organizations operate in dangerous silos, and leadership teams refuse to challenge assumptions that no longer work.
Tony, speaking from his unique perspective as both an engineer and neurodivergent strategic thinker, doesn't offer another security product. Instead, he challenges everything we think we know about fraud prevention, governance, and building truly resilient organizations.
This isn't just about cybersecurity - it's about survival in an age where the old rules no longer apply.

Tony brings something very different. He helps you and your team ask questions you did not know you had to ask. We all know we should ask questions, and then we realise we must ask better questions. Eventually, we realise we determine if we are asking the right questions, however, this demands we understand what is right (in this context) and whether we have asked the questions we did not know we had to ask.
Tony Fish is a neuro-minority (diverse) and is a leading expert on decision-making in uncertain environments, corporate governance and sustainability.
